Listen to Jacqueline's story below -- the entire one-hour interview is in the Make Your Book Famous Member Lounge:

When I wrote and self-published my first book, Elder Rage or Take My Father...Please!: How to Survive Aging for Caring Parents, I didn't have a clue about writing or publishing. I'd just spent a heart-wrenching year caring for my elderly parents, and I felt compelled to prevent others from going through what I had learned the hard way.

I had never written anything but a postcard and I did not have a degree in any aspect of healthcare, but I had just earned my D.L.E. (Doctorate of Life Experience), so I was sure I'd find a publisher for my masterpiece right away. I bought Writers Market and called publishers who'd published related topics and left my riveting voicemail pitch. I was delighted when some called back saying, "send it!" But after 57 rejection notices (and three low offers), I decided to self-publish.

I poured over Dan Poynter's Self Publishing Manual, took a publishing class, bought John Kremer's 1001 Ways to Market Your Books, and signed up for all the publishing newsletters I could find. Then I networked like crazy with successful self-published authors and got some mentors.

I decided the best way for Elder Rage to be taken seriously would be to have numerous celebrity endorsements. The local reference librarian got to know me real well, helping me figure out creative ways to locate famous people. It was a nightmare.

Then I thought I'd hit the jackpot with a reference book of celebrity addresses, but I was so disappointed when more than half came back undeliverable because of their out-of-date information. Then I discovered the BEST way to contact celebrities was through Jordan's online database.

Jacqueline Marcell Elder RageI realized I'd hit a chord when I ended up with over 50 impressive quotes from: Ed Asner, Jacqueline Bisset, Erin Brockovich, Pam Dawber, Phyllis Diller, Connie Stevens, Lainie Kazan, Hugh Downs, Leeza Gibbons, Mark Victor Hansen, Janet Leigh, Art Linkletter, Ed McMahon, Regis Philbin, Rod Steiger, Ernest Borgnine, Dr. Bernie Siegel and Robert Stack, just to name a few (but I really don't like to name drop!) [see ElderRage.com/Review.asp].

Then I got my first big public speaking break, and now I'm a sought-after well-paid national speaker, presenting caregiving solutions to families and professionals. Soon after, I was the cover story on AARP's Bulletin magazine, which goes to over 22 million households!

I believe I've been taken seriously much sooner than I would have otherwise because of all the glowing celebrity endorsements. I've been delighted to share my knowledge on hundreds of radio and television programs, but I always have to laugh because the very first question an interviewer asks is, "How in the world did you get all these incredible high-profile endorsements?" I just smile and say, "I hit a chord with an issue that affects millions...and then I begged, just a little—but ever so politely!

Now when I speak at writing/publishing conferences I always tell authors about Jordan's incredible time-saving resource, which always has the most current information."

Sincerely,

Jacqueline

Make Your Book Famous"While listening to these presentations, the light bulbs were going off all over the place! I came away with a knowledge base that is 1000% greater than what I went in with. I feel I have all the tools now to get my business to the level which I want it to be. This program has saved me at least 3-5 years of time. Thanks so much and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to succeed in the publishing business."

"I have been with you for a couple of years. I am an author and have two books published of my work. I'm a photographer my specialty with the book is celebrities at home with their pets. My new book that has just come out is Pets and Their Stars filled with 120 celebrities. I can't even tell you how essential your site was to my book. I would say that at least half of the celebrities have been contacted through your site. It is a funny thing, I always receive e-mails from people through my web site asking me how I get so many people to pose for me."
     - Chris Ameruoso, Los Angeles, CA, Pets and Their Stars

"All of this information was very good. I really have not had time to digest it all, but I will.

     - Benita Beckles, Detroit Public Library, Detroit, MI

     - Jacqueline Druga-Marchetti, Pittsburgh, PA, The Shroud

"By using this site, we were able to get our books to John Fusco, the writer/director of Hidalgo, Spirit of the Cimmaron, and Thunderheart. He read them and passed them on to Viggo Mortensen, and they wrote a great review on Amazon.com, which increased our exposure in the media and our sales practically overnight."
     - Elly & Nathan Foote, Riding Into The Wind & Hidalgo: The Desert Diaries

"To be a successful writer, I need to maximize my time and effort. This has given me a new list of ideas for book promotion. With each expert, the momentum builds as the speaker shares his or her perspective. The presentations are great to replay when you target a particular project. It's a great investment for your writing future."
     - Barbara Hollace, Hollace Writing Services, Spokane, WA

"Who wouldn't want a celebrity to endorse your book? In fact when new clients come to me and show me their books, I look for the endorsements to see how "expert" they really are! Many of them do have endorsements by great people like Mark Victor Hansen, Ken Blanchard, Steven Covey and the presidents of major companies. Endorsements do make a difference! After all, who has heard of you? You need the credibility of leading authorities! One of my new PR LEADS clients runs a terrific business that can put you in touch with just about any celebrity! In fact, it is endorsed by my good friends, Dan Poynter the godfather of self publishing; Steve Harrison of Radio TV Interview Report; John Kremer the expert on book marketing, and many other leading PR people, so I know it is real! The service is called Contact Any Celebrity and I strongly suggest you try it out when you need to get endorsements for your books or products. In case you are running a charity auctoin, you can even use this service to get autographed items for your fundraisers. Lots more uses too."
     - Dan Janal, President, PR LEADS

"Your product has been an invaluable resource in trying to find endorsements for my book."
     - Dr. Joe Luciani, Cresskill, NJ, The Power of Self-Coaching

"I thought I hit the jackpot with a reference book of celebrity addresses, but I was so disappointed when more than half came back undeliverable because of their outdated information. But then I discovered the BEST way to contact celebrities was this site. I received over 50 high-profile celebrity testimonials for my self-published book using it. Now when I speak at writing/publishing conferences I always tell authors about Jordan's incredible time-saving resource, which always has the most current information."

     - Bill McCord, The Gift of You: How to Tell Your Loved Ones Who You Really Are

"I'm an author who is working on a celebrity-related book and I can't tell you how time consuming it was to gather the names and addresses of publicists and agents and find out who represented which client, until I signed up to be a member today. I'm stunned with the information in this database! I was just about to hire a firm in London to do this part of the research for me because it was taking so long. I have gathered more information in the last 5 minutes than I have in the last 5 months! This will go a long way toward helping me finish this book this year. Thank you so much!"
     - Lyn Niemann, Downers Grove, IL

"When I go online, the service is outstanding. Have referred some readers to your service, as well. It's a terrific resource for 'celeb' questions, which we get fairly often. You guys have such a wonderful service."
     - Mike Ostrowski, Playboy Magazine, Chicago, IL

"I have been having a nightmare of a time trying to get addresses that work. Being a screenwriter, being able to contact producers and directors is a must when an actor is also involved in filmmaking the security and access becomes even more difficult. Absolute truth, 48 hours on this site and I had my script in the hands of one of the most legendary names in Hollywood. What can I say, if someone tells you their site is more up to date, tell 'em they're dreamin'."
     - Archer Quinn, Australia

     - Maxine Schnall, What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger

- Philip Steinbacher, Serves You Write, Kappa, HI

"As an international best-selling writer, the ability to tap into the database of notables, government officials, and experts in various fields has become an important tool in my research and promotional work. The service saves me massive amounts of time that would be lost with trial and error contacting."
     - Richard Steinberg, Las Vegas, NV, Gemini Man, Nobody's Safe, The Four Phase Man

"I have certainly enjoyed your service, which has been an invaluable tool in promoting my new book Iron Rain, a biker fiction novel."

"My name is Barbara Watkins, and I'm the author of Behind the Red Door. I signed up with Contact Any Celebrity just on the chance that one of the studios might answer back. I sent out thirty letters with my info about my book along with my picture to the various contacts I found on your site. I have already received an e-mail back from a letter I sent to Sony Pictures. They are interested in more info on my book. Then, in July, I received an e-mail from Escape Artists. Through e-mail they asked if I would send them a copy of my manuscript. I was very excited. It's not only an honor that they replied, but that they also requested to review my work. One never knows! I want to thank you for hooking me up!!!"
